Tower of Shadows : Dallas, Texas CASA Parade of Playhouses 2019 - (3 team members + 1 professor) (Built) About the Project The goal of the project was to design and build a playhouse in 3 weeks for kids to raise money for CASA which is an organization centered around helping abused and neglected children.

The design generated from the an organic tree like form that kids could crawl up into and let their imagination flow, almost as if crawling into another dimension. The two story level playhouse design allows for movement, mystery, and multiple activities to take place while playing.

Concept: Treehouse

Study models: Exploring connections with spacers, poles, and layering.

In progress: Five layers completed

Process Work The playhouse was constructed by laying out wood pieces and creating 3 notches on each layer to laminate together. As well as creating inch and half spacers between each layer to create height and the allowance of that light throughout the structure. For extra support we added poles that went through each layer of the structure from top to bottom, and 3 essential poles that would connect to the roof.

In progress: Twelve layers completed 07

The Entrance: Pacoima, San Fernando Valley, California Low Rise Housing Ideas For Los Angeles Competition - (4 team members) About the Project The proposal seeks to create an alternative option to TOD’s (transit-oriented development) within low-rise neighborhoods by providing a more communitarian series of low-rise houses and interstitial spaces to link into proposed transit lines. Scaling down housing into four modular units increases neighborhood density without taking away the opportunity to own an individual home and generate wealth. Occupants of the fourplex have options for customizing their own home that is positioned along a meandering path extending the new slow streets into semi-private courtyard spaces. Each home maintains its own private greenspace while also connecting to a shared small community greenspace and the larger, more pedestrian-friendly street beyond..

Study Massing Models

Study Model 1: Apartments above with green park underneath

Study Model 2: Middle lot with wrap around street and green park in front

Slow Streets Concept Slowing down the neighborhood streets injects this communitarian concept into the neighborhood immediately, without requiring the adoption of the proposed fourplex model on adjacent properties. Both fourplex occupants and their neighbors have access to public outdoor spaces with this two-phase proposal that would convert the Slow Streets LA initiative into a permanent feature of neighborhood life.

Attractions: nearby walkable attractions.

After (2 Lane)

The creation of a “neutral zone” median allows for local business to serve the neighborhood and prevents large scale TODs from taking over the community. The neutral zone allows for opportunity for foster communitarian engagement with neighborhood events.

TOOLS:

Final Design The proposal studies the implementation of this concept in the neighborhoods of San Fernando Valley and Pacoima, with the selected street serving as an ideal location for the implementation of the slow street concept. The image to the right is an ideal sketch of the space layout of how the project is to be designed on the open lot.

The Entrance builds on the Slow Streets program to increase walkability in Pacoima near the new lightrail stop. Sidewalks and greenspace improve the health of the neighborhood without adversely affecting its low-rise character.

Site design concept overlay sketch: Minimizing the 5 lane street to 2 lanes with a greenspace median in between allows for safety as well as neighborhood activies to take place creating community. The lot layout allows for each resident to have its own private space as well as shared community spaces outside.

Flexible Layouts

Alternate Layouts

The four new homes are largely prefabricated and can be arranged in different manners depending on the specific neighborhood context. In San Fernando, these homes are arranged on the site with the two- and three-bedroom units facing the street, with visual permeability from the kitchens to the neutral zone median and neighborhood. A central walkway between these units reveals a glimpse to passersby of the semi-private community greenspace in the back, which can be used as a small playground or vegetable garden.

Parking in front

2 combined lots

Each of the units has either a balcony or yard separated from but looking out on the garden. Alternative arrangements depend on neighborhood street elevation, availability of an alley for vehicular access, lot orientation (for light and solar opportunities), and other variables.

Skylit Research Center : Norman, Oklahoma 4th Year COTE Competition 2019 About the Project

Sustainability

The Skylit Research Center (SRC) provides an education center for the community to use as an example that demonstrates ways to be resilient. The community and even local professions are welcomed to come and learn ways they can incorporate certain passive and sustainable strategies into their own designs for future wellbeing. The building is designed to host functions of a personal wellbeing through framed views that include; Collection of rainwater for reuse on the site, solar energy collection, use of natural materials, and most importantly ways to protect the nature of the site.

The natural site conditions led to the layout and overall design of this project. The orientation is faced viewing into the trees and only the south facing roof is exposed to the southern sun for maximum heat gain. The building is lifted off the ground to allow for wildlife to be unaffected and since the building is situated in the floodplain it allows water to flow underneath if a flood were to occur. The only trees that will be removed from the site are cedar trees and the undergrowth.

The Site is located in an up and coming surrounding area. On all four directions of the site there are apartments, a university, a new car dealership, and neighborhoods.

Slanted Roofs for rainwater collection and heat gain

Oklahoma gets above average rainwater fall in comparison to the whole nation. Annual rainfall in Norman is 38.78”.

Rainwater runoff: Rainwater will runoff through pipes into a large cistern for resuse.

Design for Community The building is programmed to host a resilience education center to allow the community to come and take classes to educate themselves on ways they can be sustainable in their own lives. The building will attain different types of sun shading devices, wind energy, and water reuse to allow for a learning environment. As well as sharing the retained energy for the community around the area.

Pervious Park : St. Louis, Missouri AIA Student Competition 2019 (4 Students + 1 Professor) (1 day) About the Project Pervious Park, the Mississippi River Watershed Research Center in St. Louis aims to reconnect the city community with the river culture. In order to do so, the project creates a polarity to reconnect existing touristic attractions on the river by the construction of an underground facility, developed below the level of the railroad. The roof of the facility is used as a public plaza, an ideal extension of the public realm towards the river.

Flood Wall Attractions: The flood wall has three main attractions: the St. Louis Arch, Laclede’s Landing, and North Riverfront Industrial area

Process Work The flood wall in St. Louis, Missouri is currently shut off near the site. The flood gate wall is about 52 feet which creates a strong barrier when down below near it. The idea is let the water flow in certain areas for scientist to be able to study the water along the w a l l .

TOOLS:

Program The main program hosted underground will be focused on research linked to the development and dissemination of the Mississippi River’s cultural and natural potential. Each one of the proposed four “fingers” will be connected to as specific research topic:

-RIPARIAN AGRICULTURE -HYDROPONICS -WATER PURIFICATION -AQUATIC PLANTS.

Master Plan Circulation Water allowed inside building

Diagram : Programmatic functions of the design

Connection to Nature The gaps between each lab “finger” that reaches towards the water will be stepping stairs for the community to gather and have picnics and to sit by the water. This design allows for the community to be able to look over the flood wall on a beautiful park that feels like you are connecting to nature instead of being blocked from it by a 52 foot flood wall.

Exterior: In the flood gate retention areas, there are places for the community to engage with the water Skye Reid l Pervious Park

The Valley Recreation Ctr: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma The Maiden Green : East Main St. Railroad (5th year project) About the Project

Phases for the Master Plan

The project is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma along the abandoned East Main St. railroad that has been shut down for years. It is a central location to downtown Oklahoma city but lacks in the fact that it is overgrown, unwalkable, and separates two different districts. The two districts that the railroad separates is Deep Deuce which is predominately apartments and businesses and Bricktown which host more entertainment functions. In order to connect the two district there must be a central location of socialization.

Maiden Green Phase 1 : Access and Park

EAST MAIN ST. RAILROAD BRICKTOWN

DEEP DEUCE

Phase 1 : Connections to the surrounding city to start movement of people around the site. There are 4 main connections that are to be made with the existing streetcar including the connection to Bicentennial Park, to the capital, across the highway, and back into the main street.

Maiden Green Phase 2 : Creating the Edges

Phase 2: In this phase we worked on creating the edges of the Maiden Green. We added a museum at the West end and a community center at the East end. We would also bulk up the housing on the East end of the site by adding mixed-use buildings.

Phase 3: The final phase, adds a series of museums across the site creating movement and landmarks.

The Maiden Green Park is designed for walkability with various programming throughout the site. Three other students and I designed the master plan together thinking about community, programming, and a way to stitch the divide between the entertainment district and the business district. The logo inspiration came from an event that took place on Thursday nights called “maids night out” which was a grand street fashion show the community took part in.
